Historical evolution of enclosed houses in Meixian county
The "enclosed house" in Meixian District of Meizhou City has a long history, which is related to the disputes between "land" and "guest" that occurred from time to time after the ancient Central Plains people moved south. In order to adapt to the environment at that time, the guests built houses that could live in groups to resist intruders. In order to facilitate their lives, they have integrated various living facilities such as anti-theft, fire prevention, breeding, processing, storage and drying to meet the requirements of living and working in peace and contentment. But with the improvement of people's living standards, the buildings around the house are becoming more and more perfect and exquisite. However, in the long historical development and changes, the ancient "enclosed house" will become a living form and go down in history.
